Yes, saw them when I saw the 275 Barnes on sale.If you like the flat points SPS usually has the Nosler blemished at a good price. Probably about the same when you add shipping.

I've done a lot of work with the 230 grain FMJs. Granted, I found that using the LSC for the hotter loads is best. But. If you just want to play around with lower charges, you can stay around the 39-40 grains with the standard taper crimp and get fair performance. I will add links here to several of my tests. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14448

Reloading data for 230 grain FMJ bullets can be found in the Western Powders Reloading & Load Data Guide. I have edition 6. There isn't a charge for the manual if you download it from their website. A Sierra 230 grain bullet was used by Western Powders in developing the load data. You will find loading for the following powders: Accurate No. 9, Ramshot Enforcer, Accurate 4100, Accurate 5744 and Accurate 1680.
